ABSTRACT:
A grommet strip for mounting along an exposed edge of a wall and including a spring tempered metal substrate strip comprising an elongated base portion and a plurality of spaced apart finger portions forming strip voids and extending in a common direction from each longitudinal edge thereof and substantially normal thereto, the inner surfaces of the base and finger portions forming an elongated channel with an open end opposite to the base portion and adapted to receive the edge of the wall with the inner surface of the base portion engaging the exposed edge and the inner surfaces of the finger portions engaging marginal sections of the wall directly adjacent thereto. A resilient, non-metalic coating covers outer surface portions of the base portion so as to provide an elongated resilient surface along the exposed edge, but has limited bounds that establish coating voids coextensive with the strip voids and therewith provide transverse openings into the channel. In addition, the coating forms over exposed edge lengths of the base portion between adjacent finger portions edge surfaces that intersect the outer surface of the base portion at angles substantially greater than 90.degree..
